Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"Officer Megure!"

A man who seemed to have a lower position than Megure ran in and explained to the leading police department: "He is Izumi's tutor."

"Tutor?" Officer Memu frowned and looked at the young man suspiciously: "You don't look like a guy who studies hard."

"Hey, this gentleman is so rude!" Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched, but he did not retort: ​​"It's a tutor, it's just a simple tutorial."

"What's the time!" Officer Memu waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent, but in his heart he had already listed the man in front of him as one of the suspects.

"From eight to ten o'clock, he will go to self-study every weekend, and then I will explain the problem to him when he comes back. But the landlord of this building is dead." Holding his chin, Mouri Kogoro imitated the routine on TV, He said meaningfully: "The prisoner... is that person."

As soon as these words came out, Officer Megure standing at the door was startled. After taking a look at Kudo Yusaku, he immediately walked up to Mouri Kogoro and punched him.

"It hurts! What are you doing?" Mouri Kogoro stared at the fat man while covering his swollen head.

"Don't cause trouble to the police, and you are also suspected!"

"Please wait a moment, police department." Kudo Yusaku let go of his wife and looked at Mouri Kogoro: "Moori-kun is also married, and the house is rented in the 6th home, which is a place with many residents. The alibi is It’s easy to determine.”

"That's it." Officer Megure glanced at the young police officer. He didn't cut it until the other officer went out and came back and nodded, then glared at Mouri Kogoro with disgust.

"Then can you please tell me who you think the murderer is?"

"Don't even think about it. It must be Izumi Hibiki. Who knows that he is the only one with a complete alibi."

"Isn't he your student?"

"The most powerful thing about me is that I kill my relatives for justice. Even if my father-in-law kills someone one day, I will not hesitate to kidnap him to the police station."

"Then I'd like to praise you some more."

"No, no."

[Why is this person so shameless? 】

The two people there were teasing each other, but after hearing it here, Kudo Yusaku understood that the Mori in front of him was just guessing based on the routines in mystery novels, but this is not the case in most cases, because reality does not require readers to pay the bill, nor There aren’t that many reversals.

"Moori-kun, you must be more cautious when reasoning about this kind of thing. Because of our words, an innocent person may be imprisoned for several years, so you must not just rely on guessing."

"By the way, the police department! The residents on the third floor said that Izumi Hibiki entered Kishida Hiroshi's house last night with a bag of wagashi, but he came back soon."

A policeman knocked on the door and handed over a statement again, then turned around and continued the search.

"Wagashi? Have they appeared in his room?" Yusaku Kudo saw Officer Megure pointing to the coffee table. He walked over and found that three of them had been eaten, and under the coffee table, several snack boxes were neatly placed there. .

Officer Megure held his hat: "This probably has little to do with the case. Other residents said that Izumi often sends food to the landlord, hoping that he can postpone the payment of rent."

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku squinted his eyes and glanced at Mouri Kogoro unconsciously.

(Is it a coincidence? Or is this guy really seeing through everything...)

"Brother Kudo, what do you think?"

Noticing Kudo Yusaku's confident smile as usual, Officer Megure hurriedly greeted him and took out a pen and paper from his pocket to prepare for recording.

"I kind of know a little bit."

Mouri Kogoro watched Kudo Yusaku walk to the balcony, took a pair of gloves and put them on, fumbled on the fire escape, and nodded.

"The murderer is Izumi Hibiki. While delivering snacks last night, he opened the escape tunnel without closing it while the residents were not paying attention. He ran from downstairs to upstairs at around 4 o'clock this morning, and then went downstairs through the passage after killing. ”

Nodding, Kudo Yusaku put his hands in his pockets and paced back and forth.

After dragging the old man into the kitchen to commit murder, Izumi Hibiki left 401 according to his reasoning and went to Abedo Library according to his usual schedule.

"The air conditioning probably caused the misjudgment of the time of death. Kishida Hiroshi's real time of death should have been around four o'clock."

Kudo Yusaku picked up the wagashi box placed on the dining table: "There must be sleeping pills in this. Why wasn't it detected?"

If the police detect it, there will be no suspense in this case at all.

"This...that...I'm very sorry..."

A group of people walked out of the apartment building and saw the high school student who was being pressed approaching the police car. Kudo Yusaku shouted: "Please wait a moment."

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, glanced at Officer Megure and handed it to Izumi Hibiki.

"This is a passage written by Kishida Hiroshi in his diary. I begged the police and they agreed to show it to you."

The originally indifferent high school student knelt down suddenly after seeing the words on the paper, startling Dr. Agasa who was following Kudo Yukiko.

"I...what have I done!!!"

The paper fell to the ground, and Mouri Kogoro picked it up. He found that it was a diary written in English, and he read it word for word.

[Have I been too harsh on him recently, but young people should temper themselves. When I see him now, I think of the days when I worked hard alone in England.

I have put his rent in a card. His grades are very good. When he gets into college, I will add a little money to it and give it back to him. Hehe, my house can also produce a young man from Toudou University! 】

(The arrogant old man didn't expect to be killed by the promising young man.)

"He should be very happy when he gets the Japanese sweets you sent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have eaten three in one go even though he has diabetes." Maori Kogoro sighed and watched the police car take Izumi Hibiki away.

"Wait! He hasn't given me the tuition for the past two months!"

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he became unwell and yelled.

The tuition for the past two months of this student can just subsidize the family's household expenses. Although he is not completely without money, it is the money his parents gave him to buy a house.

Whether to buy a house in the shopping street or an ordinary single-family house, Maori Kogoro has been hesitating between the two types of houses, and now he has to take out some household expenses from it.

"Well, this fat officer, when can I ask that boy for tuition fees?"

Mouri Kogoro rubbed his hands and walked to Megure. After getting a hopeless result in the short term, he couldn't help but wail.

"Well, since you... have helped us, I will help you apply for a subsidy."

Officer Megure looked at Maori carefully, one big and one small, and said: "You have a good figure. Do you want to consider becoming a policeman? The information says that you are a sophomore student at Beika University. Your school should have an application channel for the police school, right?"

[This guy can talk about the criminal in one breath, and he is also Yusaku's friend. He should also be a good reasoning expert...]

"Really? Then I'll try." Maori Kogoro widened his eyes: "Police..."
